The vagina

The vagina is a common place for infection and inflammation. Vaginitis is the general term that covers a number of infections and irritations that women can be prone too. These infections are all different and need different treatments. The perfume found in some soaps, shower gels, washing powders, fabric softeners and, for some women, the ingredients in condoms can cause vaginal irritation and inflammation. This type of irritation is known as non infectious and is very easily treated.

Vaginal discharge can occur, even though no infection is present, with non infectious vaginal irritation. They have this in common with infectious vaginal inflammation. The non infectious form resolves itself quickly, however, once the product that caused the problem has been removed. The infectious type requires some form of medical intervention.
